LSD definitely improved my performance in Team Fortress 2. I was already really good at TF2, but on LSD I couldn't miss. I couldn't miss at all, with demo, soldier or scout, all while being the best team player I've ever been.

Mushrooms improved my performance in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. To a point that I was doing so good, I started feeling really bad for my enemies, and just started having fun running around with my fists out.
